SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

C. STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1. OVERVIEW/ BACKGROUND. The Library of Congress (Library) Preservation Services Division (PSD) is responsible for providing continued access to at risk materials in microform format, which includes microfilm and microfiche. Some of the Microfilm includes monographs, serials, and other printed works. PSD is seeking a Contractor that can provide duplicated copies of microforms and provide microfilm processing of exposed film. These duplication and processing services will ensure that the Library’s collections are in a stable, archival-quality state, available for researchers, digitization, and additional replication services as applicable. This services provided in this contract will be performed on 35-millimeter raw microfilm and 105-millimeter microfiche.

With some of the existing raw 35-millimeter microfilm in a damaged or fragile state, and approximately 500 feet of raw microfilm to process, this is a critical component of the requirement and the work of PSD as a whole. While PSD is capable of providing some onsite printing of exposed microfilm to ensure that little to no collection materials are lost to degradation, there is limited capacity to meet the full extent of the need. In addition to the microfilm mentioned above, a selection of approximately 700 sheets of 105-millimeter microfiche and 5,000 reels of microfilm will be duplicated under this contract.

PSD provides the Library’s Custodial Divisions, which house the reading rooms, collections and archival materials, with replacement service copy reels to fill their collections in the reading rooms. PSD does limited onsite printing exposed microfilm and requires processing of exposed microfilm to create print master (2nd generation) and service copies (3rd generation) in fulfillment of the Library’s goal of preserving and expanding access to the collections for all.

C.2. SCOPE.

The Contractor shall provide duplication and processing services for microform copies that can consist of any of the three generations of film (archival master, print master, and a service copy), in accordance with industry technical, editorial, and bibliographic standards using Silver-Gelatin (or Silver-Halide) film.

C.3. REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall perform and provide the following services:

C.3.1. Microform Duplication Requirements The Contractor shall duplicate microforms to create new microforms meeting the established standards in Section C.5.

Some film and fiche to be duplicated may be fragile or damaged. Some film and fiche may be acetate or polyester base.

Duplication of microforms must be returned within 30 days after receipt. The Library will conduct a random sampling of the deliverables to ensure compliance with the standards of the requirement.

The Contractor shall have 30 days to resolve outstanding issues and resubmit for inspection and acceptance.

3.1.1. Duplication

a. Archival Master Negative, hereafter Archival Master (first generation) is a negative image produced directly from the original format materials. This archival master is used to produce a positive or negative duplicate.

b. Print Master Negative, hereafter Print Master (second generation) is a duplicate negative used to generate positive service copies.

c. Positive Copy, hereafter Positive Service Copy (third generation) is a positive film created from the archival or print master.

2. The Contractor shall duplicate microforms to create new microforms meeting the standards (see standards in section C.5.1. and C.5.2.). Some film to be duplicated may be fragile or damaged. Some film may be acetate or polyester base.

Library materials shall be handled only by the Contractor’s employees, and only in connection with work authorized under the task order.

b. Liability The Contractor shall be liable for damage or loss of the original items owned by the Library which would have been avoided by the Contractor exercising reasonable care. The Contractor’s liability shall not exceed the appraised value (if one exists) of the items or the cost of replacing or repairing the damaged or lost items.

If a loss occurs, an independent appraiser may be called upon to determine the value of the items lost or damaged.

c. Insurance Insurance coverage shall be provided, upon Library request, by the Contractor on a “door-to-door” basis, i.e., from the time the shipment leaves the Library until the receipt of the finished work and originals are returned to the Library. The Contractor shall have sufficient insurance to cover the loss of or damage to each original item in performance of each task order. The insurance shall be provided by specific policies or by inclusion of the risks in the Contractor’s existing policies and shall be issued for the duration of the task order period of performance. A copy of the insurance policies shall be sent to the Library not later than thirty (30) days after award. Per Section B.3, the Contractor shall not factor the cost of insurance into unit prices and insurance needs shall be determined for each Task Order placed against this IDIQ.

d. Environment Library materials shall be maintained in an environment in which the ambient temperature is maintained between 60˚ F and 71˚ F and that the relative humidity is maintained between 30 and 55%. RH fluctuations shall not exceed more than 10% within 24 hours. These conditions shall be observed and maintained during transport in a Contractor vehicle (if used) and in the Contractor’s facility. Whenever original materials are not in the process of being treated/converted, they shall be stored in an area secured from theft and damage and maintaining the same environmental conditions as specified above.

e. Facility Security The Contractor’s facility shall have securely locked doors and windows and shall have a security alarm system connected to a local police department or security firm.

f. Fire Alarm and Suppression The Contractor’s facility shall have all adequate fire alarm and fire suppression systems in accordance with local, state, and federal government regulations.
